Man of Few Words
Everyone chases success, but not all of us want to be famous.
South African writer John Maxwell Coetzee is【C1】______for keeping to himself. When the 63-year-old man was named the 2003 Nobel Prize winner for literature, reporters were warned that they would find him*’particularly difficult to【C2】______".
Coetzee lives in Australia but spends part of the year teaching at the University of Chicago. He seemed【C3】______by the news that he won the US $1.3 million prize.
"It came as a complete surprise. I wasn’ t even aware they were due to make the announcement, " he said. His【C4】______of privacy led to doubts as to whether Coetzee will attend prize-giving in Stockholm, Sweden, on December 10. But despite being described as【C5】______to track down, the critics agree that his writing is easy to get to know.
Born in Cape Town, South Africa, to an English-speaking family, Coetzee【C6】______his breakthrough in 1980 with the novel" Waiting for the Barbarians". He【C7】______his place among the world’ s leading writers with two Booker prize victories, Britain’ s highest honour for novels. He first【C8】______in 1983 for the Life and Times of Michael K and his second title came in 1999 for Disgrace.
A major theme in his work is South Africa’ s former apartheid system, which divided whites from blacks. 【C9】______with the problems of violence, crime and racial division that still exist in the country, his books have enabled ordinary people to understand apartheid【C10】______within.
" I have always been more interested in the past than the future, "he said in a rare interview.
’’The past【C11】______its shadow over the present. I hope I have made one or two people think 【C12】______about whether they want to forget the past completely. "In fact, this purity in his writing seems to be【C13】______in his personal life. Coetzee is a vegetarian, a cyclist rather than a motorist and he doesn’ t drink alcohol. But what he has【C14】______to literature, culture and the people of South Africa is far greater than the things he has given up. " In looking at weakness and failure in life, " the Nobel prize judging panel said, " Coetzee’ s work【C15】______the divine spark in man. "
【C4】
选项
A、like
B、devote
C、love
D、attract
答案
C
